Crossover Anime: This is not pure love at all

"No, you don't need to be so polite."

Shayu waved her hand somewhat awkwardly, then turned to look at Kuroe Minoru, "Mr. Kuroe, let's go."

Butler Hu Ze turned slightly to the side, his gaze lingering on Kuroe Minoru for a moment, a barely perceptible scrutiny flashing in his eyes, but he still respectfully opened the car door.

"Sir, please."

Kuroe nodded and took the lead in sitting in the spacious and comfortable back seat, followed closely by Sayu.

The extended Lincoln smoothly drove away from the bus stop and headed into the night.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat silent.

Shayou would steal glances at Kuroe Minoru from time to time. Seeing him leaning back in the leather seat with his eyes closed, she didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him. She just quietly watched the boy's profile, which was occasionally illuminated by the streetlights.

The flickering light only accentuated the magnificence of the face.

Sayu Ogiwara's eyes gradually became unfocused.

She thought of the boy she had rejected at school. Although he was also very handsome, compared to Mr. Kuroe in front of her, he was as insignificant as a firefly under the moon.

I wonder if Mr. Kuroe is married?

Sayu Ogiwara thought silently.

Before long, the car drove into a vast private estate and finally stopped in front of a brightly lit luxury villa.

"Young Miss, we've arrived."

Butler Hu Ze respectfully opened the car door.

Sayu got off the bus first, followed by Kuroe Minoru, who also woke up and got off.

He looked around, secretly amazed.

He is now quite certain that the Ogiwara family has become nouveau riche.

After all, what kind of good person would build a manor of this size!

Before my eyes was a garden that I estimated to be about a kilometer long and wide, with rare trees and plants growing on both sides. Even now, in the evening, maids were still tending to the flat and tidy lawn.

As you continue along the main road in the middle, you will see an extremely luxurious villa complex.

"Sayonara!"

Before Hei Jiang could even sigh inwardly, a voice filled with anxiety came from the villa's main gate.

Kuroe looked over there and saw a refined-looking man striding towards them, then stepping forward and tightly grasping Sayu's hand.

"Sayu! You've suffered! I've already sent people to get Yamamoto out of the detention center; I'll avenge you soon!"

Ogiwara's father's eyes were red and his voice was trembling; he was clearly heartbroken.

"Dad, I'm alright. I owe it all to Mr. Kuroe who saved me..." Sayu comforted her father while turning to look at Kuroe Minoru.

"This must be Mr. Kuroe?"

Taro Ogiwara released his daughter and quickly walked up to Minoru Kuroe.

Take this opportunity to carefully examine the man in front of him.

The man's physique was not like the stereotypical nouveau riche, bald with a beer belly and his neck and hands practically covered in gold.

Instead, he wore a very sophisticated bespoke suit, his hair was meticulously styled, and he wore a silver watch on his wrist; apart from that, he had no other adornments.

Unlike the villa complex behind him, this outfit could even be described as understated.

Kuroe Minoru originally thought that what followed would be that clichéd plot of "I'll give you ten million to leave my daughter".

But to his surprise, the chairman of the Ogiwara Group bowed deeply to him without hesitation.

"Mr. Kuroe, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I might never have seen Sayu again. The Ogiwara family will never forget this kindness!"

"Mr. Ogiwara, you flatter me. It was just a small favor." Kuroe Minoru quickly helped him up.

"No, no, no, this is definitely not a small matter. You saved my most precious daughter, Ogiwara Taro. Whatever you ask for, I will do my best to fulfill it if I can!" Ogiwara Taro patted his chest and said with great pride.

Upon hearing this, Kuroe Minoru's eyes lit up instantly.

That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!

After all, the reason he came here today is mostly to get a promise from the other party.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to speak, Kuroe Minoru naturally won't hold back.

"Actually, there is something I would like to ask Mr. Ogiwara for help with."

"Oh? Go ahead!"

Although they felt the young man on the other side had agreed too readily, they didn't really refuse.

But Taro Ogiwara wasn't just saying it casually; he genuinely wanted to repay the favor, so he decided to see what this young man, who looked no less handsome than himself in his youth, wanted.

Kuroe Minoru glanced at Sayu beside him, then looked at Ogiwara Taro and slowly said:

"I heard from Sayu that your group has a development project near Lake Itomori recently."

"If possible, I'd like to go and take a look at Lake Itomori."

This statement came out.

Ogiwara Taro, who had been all smiles, suddenly changed his expression.

It turned into a complex expression that mixed shock, vigilance, and even a hint of fear.

His smile gradually faded, his gaze fixed intently on Kuroe Minoru, and his tone became low and somber:

"Itomori Lake?"

"Mr. Kuroe, why do you want to go there?"

Shayou, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.

She remembered that she did mention Lake Itomori at the bus stop, but that was just an excuse she made up to persuade Kuroe Minoru to stay!

Because she knew that place was recently blocked off and normally inaccessible, she wanted to take him sightseeing to increase the time they could spend together.

But... why is Dad's reaction so strong?

Sayu Ogiwara glanced furtively at Taro Ogiwara, then subtly moved a little closer to Minoru Kuroe.

Kuroe Minoru nodded, meeting Ogiwara Taro's wary gaze head-on, and began to spout nonsense without batting an eye:

"Actually, I am a wilderness explorer and photographer."

"I've always been interested in natural landscapes that are untouched by humans and haven't been overdeveloped. I've heard that the scenery around Lake Itomori is very unique, so this trip to Hokkaido was specifically for exploring and filming there."

"Adventure filming?"

Taro Ogiwara frowned, staring intently into Minoru Kuroe's eyes, as if trying to find a flaw in them.

However, Kuroe's current willpower attribute has been increased to 100 points through playing with the millstone in his spare time.

That's ten times the human limit!

If he wanted to lie, not only a businessman, but even a professional detective wouldn't be able to spot any flaws.

After watching for a while, Taro Ogiwara quietly looked away.

But he shook his head, refusing firmly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kuroe. I can grant you any other request except for this one, but not Lake Itomori."

"There is indeed a construction and development project being carried out there recently by our group. Moreover, due to geological reasons, the area is not very stable, and there are often falling rocks and other debris, making it very unsafe."

"Therefore, we cannot allow outsiders to enter at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience."
